In her work, Napier explores territories and domains such as street spaces and the sites of former communities, through surveillance, documentation, and performances set in everyday life. Her interest lies in the ways that sociological systems are revealed through patterns of behavior, documented through video, photography, and sound. Audience participation is essential to realize many of these projects, which exist only momentarily as shared transitory experience. Events are constructed to examine both the past and present history of these sites, and to finally leave participants with heightened awareness of themselves and others in the range of spaces that we inhabit.
